 When installing an activity from the Journal or USB stick, we should show
 progress information for larger (if not all) installations to let a user
 know that something is happening.

 On slower systems like XO-1's it may take several seconds to install an
 activity when nothing appears to be happening.  Very large activities like
 Wikipedia may appear to stall installing on all systems.

 Seen in OLPC 12.1.0 os11/Sugar 0.96.

 Also see [OLPC:10503].
